DECEMBER
The holiday season had begun. There was lots to do and more stress than I wanted! haha
We started off by having the Leavitt Christmas Party in Salt Lake. It was good to see the relatives again.





It was also time for my annual friends Christmas Party with JoAnne and Kris and their husbands. They were my rommies from Ricks College and have had the tradition of getting together every year for the past 30+ years. We went to Bountiful to a quaint little restaurant called, "Sego Lily".

We got my mom up here to spend Christmas with us on Dec. 23rd. We had a great Christmas! All the kids were here on Christmas Eve. We had lunch and the kids went sledding and we opened presents.














On Christmas morning, I was the one to get everyone up this time instead of Jordan. I made everyone get up at 7:00am. Santa was very generous to our family. A little later, Brandon's family came over and we had breakfast. Later, we went to Brandon and Nicole's to see what their kids got for Christmas. Then, we had dinner at our house. After, my mom and I watched a Christmas movie and just chilled.
The next day we went down to Justin and Jenny's to see what their kids got for Christmas. I took my mom back home the next day (Sunday) and stayed till Tuesday. It was really nice to have my mom with us and I know she was grateful to be here. This was her first Christmas away from my dad. I even had a few tears in my eyes at times missing my dad. We all had a nice holiday season.

NOVEMBER
This is the month to be grateful for all we have. We are so blessed to have our family and our good health and the means to support ourselves.
